Furiously it rolled, threatening
Showing off its might with every tidal wave.
I stayed there, calm and small
Mesmerized by the mighty roll
As if it were calling me out
For what that I don't know.
But I stand there watching
As the waves guarded the ocean
Shouting and screaming,
Daring me to make a move.
So I said to the ocean,
Why are you threatening me;
Have I ever done you any harm?
Then the infuriated wave rose
And in one swept took me away
I fight with the ocean, cursing and crying
Till all the strength and life in me drained away
Then comes the swimmers in their boat
Propelling through the angry waves
And dragged me back to the shore
As I lay there in the beach
I saw the boats and the swimmers
I saw the coastal embankment and the hotels
I saw the light house and the ship anchored away
And suddenly I realize what the ocean said
I stand there watching as the oceans rolls
Threatening, screaming and crying, helplessly,
A thousand years of humiliation to cover,
Caused by mighty me and my kind.
